    Adobe reader 7 problem - Heads up

    Hi all,
    There is a bug in Acrobat 7.0 (seems in all version).
    The problem is when entering a link to an excel spread**** (or even simple wo`rd document) - the link does not work.
    The same works with no problem on previous versions of Acrobat.

    You can view the official forum here:

    Cheers,
    Gabriel

    Assume you are both Beta testers

    Will stick with Adobe 6 until they bring out the Service packs for 7.
    Adobe is worse than Microsoft

    Look back at Adobe6 it was the same

    If by "beta testers" you mean early adopters then yes.

    My father-in-law's company recently upgraded all their clients from acrobat 5 to acrobat 7 standard edition and everything was fine until he tried to open an engineering e-book that he recently purchased. The e-book uses FileOpen's DRM. Acrobat 5 and 6 had no problems opening it. Acrobat 7 reports that the document is corrupted and unrepairable. Go figure.

    No figure about it is there?

    They are BETA testers- same as new versions of Autocad

    There will be a patch shortly

    I never did Beta testing (knowingly) - Now I am surprised i did one in my workplace.
    Back to the old drawing board.

    AS far as Adobe 6 to 7, I like the changes, its better. But I only use it to view basic pdf files, so it works for now. By far 6 was pretty darn horrible.
